The one-day event, which is to take place at Riverside
hotel on 17 July 2019, is to bridge the gap between students living with
disabilities and staff.

The workshop aims to:

Sensitize the university community and the
travails living with disabilities and share possible solutions.

Explore and canvas common approach of the
university to issues of students living with disabilities.

Explore relationships with partners who
can be of help in our endeavours to help students living with disabilities.

The Unit’s Gugu Sacolo said that this event is
important for the staff a work shop on the issues faced with such students.

“Students always come back (to us) to report the
issues that the face both at Res and in class and we have realised this is
because our staff don’t have a deep understanding with dealing with such
issues”, said Sacolo.

Also to be in attendance is the SRC and two students
living with disabilities.

“We are also focusing on the decision makers who can
implement the necessary changes that might be needed”, added Sacolo.

Staff members have until end of business day on Friday
